Whether for a special occasion or just a sweet indulgence, pecan log rolls are a classic Southern treat that has stood the test of time.
Ingredients
To make pecan log rolls, you will need the following ingredients:
_2 cups of chopped pecans
_1 cup of heavy cream
_1 cup of granulated sugar
_1/2 cup of light corn syrup
_1/4 teaspoon of salt
_1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
_1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows
_1 tablespoon of butter
Instructions
Start by preparing the pecans. Place the chopped pecans in a shallow dish and set them aside.
Next, prepare a clean surface by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, which will be used to roll the candy later.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir.
the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken slightly and become a caramel-like consistency.
Once the caramel has thickened, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add in the mini marshmallows and butter, stirring until both are melted and fully incorporated into the caramel.
Now it’s time to assemble the pecan log rolls. Pour the caramel mixture over the chopped pecans, making sure to evenly coat them.
Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes until it’s cool enough to handle but still soft and sticky.
Take small portions of the caramel-pecan mixture and roll them into logs, about 2-3 inches long.
Place each log on the prepared parchment paper and continue until all of the mixture has been rolled into logs.
Once all the log rolls are shaped, let them sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, allowing them to firm up slightly.
If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate the logs for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour.
